" It was a birthday party The Queen would have been
proud of.” The Press & Journal, 1st July 2006.
With an all star line up featuring world renowned
classical singer Katherine Jenkins along with many
other international and Scottish artists, this
“truly Scottish evening” in the grounds of Her
Majesty’s private retreat, Balmoral Castle, saw
thousands turn out to celebrate her 80th birthday.
Presented by BBC Radio 2’s Ken Bruce the
spectacular open air concert was the first of its
kind ever to be staged at this prestigious venue.
The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra, Fiona Kennedy,
Celtic Dancers, mass pipes and drums and The Graham
Geddes Scottish Dance Band were all magnificent
along with a breathtaking aviation display by the
2Excel Aviation team.
Most importantly, the whole event raised an amazing
£80,000 for The Anthony Nolan Trust to help take
back lives from leukaemia. For further information
